INTRODUCTIONScenario – 30 million tonnes/a – 2 or 3 LNG projectsRobins et al (2016) Upstream (wells) to Downstream (terminal)
Jobs - Construction – 55,000 to 93,000 – Permanent – 33,000
Revenues - Canada $6.2B/a, B.C. $3B/a
Community Development Agreements (CDAs)/IBAs BC Govt CDA for PNW Project: Lax kw’alaams and Metlakatla
Other agreements for other FNs: millions $ + jobs/contracts + land

INTRODUCTIONBoom and Bust Dynamics Related to Resource Development
The Boom PeriodIncreased employment, contracting, revenuesIncreased cost of housing and demand for servicesIncreased pressure on hunting, fishing; loss of access
The Bust PeriodDecreased employment and contractingFew economic alternativesDepression, decreased cost of housing and demand on

INTRODUCTIONAboriginal Peoples in B.C. – Vulnerable to Resource Development
Population (2011) = 232,290 - 5.4% of all B.C., NWBC ~ 35%Many hunt/fish/collect plants/berries78% live off reserve
- Housing options same as non-Aboriginals- Education funding through the Band
Poverty, colonization/residential schoolsLower education attainment and employment levels

Research Question 1What are the key aspects that need to be addressed in relation to LNG developments in the northwest to ensure the long term social and economic viability of First Nations (FNs) communities?

-
Research Question 2How can the boom-bust dynamics from resource developments be moderated so that FNs and their communities can prepare for post-construction and work towards long term sustainability?

Research Question 3
What are the environmental impacts that will directly impact FNs’
access to traditional foods and use areas?

LITERATURE REVIEW (175 papers - multidisciplinary)Project Reviews – Resource Development Benefits vs ImpactsPositive
• Hajkowicz et al (2011) - 71 mining areas in AustraliaNot positive
• Ross (2003); Pegg (2006); Zarsky and Stanley (2013); Gamu et al. (2014);
People in poverty/low fixed incomes suffer disproportionately; unable to participate in benefits
• Parlee (2015)Need to manage the resource course and impacts to Indigenous peoples

Important species - seaweed, eulachon, salmon, roe (herring) on kelp, berries, and many others
Kitsumkalum connection to ocean/inland foods, 75%/76%

RESULTS & DISCUSSION – Access to Traditional Foods & Use Areas
59% Kitsumkalum noticed increase in people fishing on their family’s fishing grounds over last 10 yrs. (n=71)
Recent published studies show social, cultural and land use is more important for general life satisfactionthan financial (Kant et al, 2016)

Recommendations
Implement new framework in NWBC, test results by characterizing the community as per Step 1
Implement new framework in other countries (Australia, Africa), and test results.
